Default Ruling on Restaurant Service Charges
Article in Daily Sun today regarding Court Ruling in Miami that restaurant service charges are not Tips. Tips ruled to be added monies determined by customer.

My question is what are service charges? Article states that they are largely for providing larger wages for employees.

I have not seen restaurant bills in The Villages that have included Service charges as a line item. I don't like the concept. I have seen this overseas and in most countries I have seen them, tipping seems to be much less.
